That's pretty awesome.
Question I have is how did they get so many of them on the same street at the same time?

Just gonna say it…
If this becomes a thing and no one is in these cars, you'll start to see people vandalize and cause damage to these cars

Why is this funny? This is 100% the future of transportation. It's like laughing at that guy who bought a bicycle while thinking nobody will ever stop riding horses.
Are all self driven cars driven by women?
These things are gonna be tagged more than railway carsFriendlyAg said:

It is if you're under 60. I just got back from Phoenix and these are everywhere. If you use Uber, Lyft or other ride services, you will absolutely be in self-driving cars within a couple of years. They've reported over a million rides already with zero accidents in that market.Tony Franklins Other Shoe said:Not my future.SantaLucia said:

I wouldn't mind commuting or long distance travel in one.
The current iteration are fairly easy to disable or trap due to their collision avoidance sensors and logic being easy to manipulate.

There is a strong correlation between coronabro's and EV fans and Ukraine war fans, imho. Not perfect, of course, but very close. It's really quite funny, as I think some Americans just need a cause to ardently believe in and see any disagreement as somehow morally/life threateningly wrong/ignorant/stupid/enemy.

Show me where anyone has asked for a self-driving car outside of some people in Silicon Valley.

I've seen two of those cars in Dallas but they had people in the drivers seat
It's coming, and everyone will use them just like they all use iPhones, Amazon, Netflix etc.

I think it's highly likely that my profession (law) sees to it that anyone selling these things gets sued to oblivion every time they cause an accident. We are a long ways away from the point where self driving cars can operate in an uncontrolled environment without regular screw ups. What you will probably see, instead, is freeways built for self driving technology, where every driver has to turn over operation to a system where the cars communicate with each other, and maybe with some kind of central traffic control. Absent that, there will be too much liability exposure.SantaLucia said:It is if you're under 60. I just got back from Phoenix and these are everywhere.

The laws, regulations and even the legal profession will adjust. I'm sure people threatened lawsuits from "having" to use seatbelts, too. I'm some did sue alleging damages and/or inconveniences caused by using a seatbelt. Everyone has adjusted and society is better for it.twk said:I think it's highly likely that my profession (law) sees to it that anyone selling these things gets sued to oblivion every time they cause an accident.

That's not true! They had to shut them down for awhile because of accidents they caused and a few hit pedestrians.

No iPhone, no Amazon and no Netflix.
What do I win?
And I'm not a beta, so I don't use Uber or Lyft, either. So there's that, too.
